Why is my custom loop not filtering correctly nor paginating?

To fix your “query filters”
change

// Set defaults in nothing entered:
if(!isset($_POST['showfilter'])) {
    $ft_args="post_type=ftevent&";
    // $ft_args .= 'posts_per_page=1&'; SHOW ALL
    $ft_args .= 'paged=' . $paged . '&';
    $ft_args .= $osu_datecompare . '&';
    $ft_args .= 'orderby=meta_value&order=ASC';
} else {
    // Filter query with multiple taxonomies and paginate results
    $ft_args="post_type=ftevent&";
    $ft_args .= 'posts_per_page=2&';
    $ft_args .= 'paged=' . $paged . '&';
    $ft_args .= 'fttype=" . $ft_t . "&';
    $ft_args .= 'ftperiod=' . $ft_p . '&';
    $ft_args .= 'ftduration=' . $ft_d . '&';
    $ft_args .= $osu_datecompare . '&';
    $ft_args .= 'orderby=meta_value&order=ASC';
}

// Filter query with multiple taxonomies and paginate results
    $ft_args = array(
    'post_type' => 'ftevent',
    'posts_per_page' => 2,
    'paged=' => $paged ,
    'meta_key' => 'StartEventDate',
    'meta_compare' => '>=',
    'meta_value' => $todaysDate,
    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
    'order' => 'ASC');
    if (isset($ft_t) && ($ft_t != '')){$ft_args['fttype'] = $ft_t;}
    if (isset($ft_p) && ($ft_p != '')){$ft_args['ftperiod'] = $ft_p;}
    if (isset($ft_d) && ($ft_d != '')){$ft_args['ftduration'] = $ft_d;}

and to make it work before version 3.1 you will need to install Query Multiple Taxonomies.

Hope this helps.
